Two months later and I still remember this retreat as my favorite place I stayed in NZ. The owner, Ian, is exceptionally kind and friendly. He really tries to facilitate friendships between the guests, and gives great advice for the Tongariro crossing as well as other activities in the area. Overall the place has a genuine, easygoing, and social atmosphere that (imo) is not commonly found. I extended my stay here and could have stayed longer!

We really enjoyed our stay at Creel Lodge. The room was very nice and clean, we had separate bedrooms, living area and kitchen, and porch. If you walk to the back of the property there is a private gate that leads to a nice walk by the river. The lodge is also close enough to take a short walk into the main town area where there is a grocery store and restaurants. I would recommend staying here and would stay here again.

Turangi has many interesting outdoor activities, and it is in the central North Island with mountains, rivers, Lake Taupo nearby, but we were just passing through and for us it was a place to break the long journey, rather than a destination in itself.

It's a great stopover location say between Auckland and Wellington but it's hard to find good food and the prices e.g. food and petrol reflect a lack of true competition and a feeling "well, you've got little choice"

A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo.
A comfortable apartment with great views over Lake Taupo. We stayed two nights and used it as our base for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, so it was perfect for that. Oreti Resort is about 14km from Turangi, so you definitely need a car for eating out etc.

We found plenty to do in our 3 day stay. We popped up to Taupo and went to Orakei korako. Then to beautiful lake Rotopounamu and walked around that. And did the picturesque river walk. We hired a rental car so we could look around easily. We could have easily filled in a whole week.

Central to some wonderful activities such as great rafting, the walk Tongariro crossing, Ruapehu. 'Up market' accommodation is very limited but if you can get into the Tongariro Lodge, it is excellent. Worth the extra cost. The locals are helpful and the town has a nice relaxed non-touristy feel; however avoid leaving your car parked overnight on a street. Shopping, apart from Groceries is limited.

Turangi is a lovely little town.
Turangi is a lovely little town. Not much going on in the actual town itself but has everything you need in terms of supermarkets etc. and easy access to the Tongariro Crossing and lots of other beautiful walks nearby. Recommend the Tongariro River Walk and Lake Rotopounamu walk too. Lovely swimming spots! I stayed for 4 nights in the end which was great. Recommend staying here! And also use Panda Shuttles to get to the Tongariro crossing or anywhere in the local area. Stay at Riverstone Lodge if you can!
Braxmere Lodge is located on the south shore of beautiful Lake Taupo, right the waters edge. It is an hours drive from Taupo, 10 minutes from nearest shops and restaurants in Turangi. So it a gorgeous and isolated setting.
The unit was spacious and tidy and newly renovated. The king sized bed was very comfortable. There was a microwave, large fridge, and good range of basic tea and coffee making options.
Look at the view from outside the lounge in our unit in the photograph below.
Excellent place to stay in Turangi!
We booked a private room with a double bed and ensuite bathroom. It had parking for our car right outside our room. We loved this place so much we wish we stayed there a whole week instead of just 3 nights. Very relaxing. So clean. Great vibes. The owner is great and so helpful! Helped us book Tongariro crossing shuttle and recommended fishing rental locations. We will definitely be back.
Loved the 'fresh, hot water pool' and would've preferred the mineral pool. Hopefully the other three pools did have people in it rather than they closed the door rather than leave it open when finished.
Lovely location close to my friend's house at Waihi Beach. Didn't get to encounter the rest of Tokaanu. Definitely needs to be another visit.
Four old style hot pools open to the stars 24/7 for only nine rooms. Fantastic - particularly as the Tokaanu pools are closed. The motel is a little dated but rooms are large, well equipped, warm and clean, and the owner is very helpful. Beds are comfortable. Delivered exactly what was needed at a good price
We loved the setting of Creel Lodge. It would be perfect for a large family gathering or a group of friends traveling together. People could rent multiple cabins but still gather in shared outdoor spaces. So cool! Our room was tidy and the restaurant/ cafe on site is really good!!
Lovely spacious room.Good water flow with shower.Lovely comfortable chairs to sit at the table.Good kitchen facilities all working well.A heat pump available for chilly nights.Very good lighting both inside and outside.Motel is handy to Turangi shopping centre.
The apartment unit was spacious and super clean. The price was super competitive. I got delayed for check-in and the hosts left clear after hours check in instructions for me.
Would love to stay at the property again whenever I am back in New Zealand.
We had a great stay, very private and quiet. The continental breakfast was an added bonus.
Very friendly hosts and we would definitely stay again.
We highly recommend Tongariro Lodge for dinner. Great food and it's only a few hundred metres away
- The studio was really big
- The instructions on how to use the facilites were clear
- Parking was available for each room
- Their hot pool was not avilable, but the Tokaanu hot pools were located within a walking distance
The location is a bit remote, but it provides a great relaxing and tranquil atmosphere.
The views from the cabin were fantastic - amazing vista of the lake Taupo from the top of the hill!
The room was spacious and comfortable.
Lovely location, remote enough to feel immersed in nature but a short drive to either Taupo or Turangi to do all tourist activities. Cabin was clean, warm and cozy . Has all the basics for a simple lifestyle
The location is superb. The hot pools came in handy after a cold day in the ice and more importantly the children playground and the animal zoo were really a plus for a family friendly hotel.
Breakfast wasn’t being served due to the Lodge being in the Red Zone. We thought that a continental breakfast should have been available in the room to save a trip into Turangi for breakfast.
great set up for our extended family. great location, close to turangi, Mt Ruapehu and Taupo but also just perfect if you don’t feel like going anywhere because it has everything you need.
the best accomodation in Turangi and one of the best motels in the country. The location and the grounds make this an excellent option for all visitors to Turangi.
